Overview of Undergraduate Programs
The Engineering Technology Department offers programs of study in four engineering technology disciplines. The fifth program of study in the emerging discipline of information technology is also offered. A brief description of each of these programs is provided below. Additional, more detailed, information about these programs can be found by following the program links at the right.
Computer Science & Engineering Technology
The Computer Science and Engineering Technology program is hands-on education leading
to careers in the planning, construction, troubleshooting, and management of both
the hardware and software elements of sophisticated data networks. 
Students also are prepared for careers in website design and development. Computer
Science and Engineering Technology graduates are valuable additions to high-tech corporations
that are developing, maintaining, or marketing computer systems.

can be found here.
Construction Engineering Technology
Construction Engineering Technology offers students a dual foundation in engineering
and management, which is needed to ensure quality work in all phases of projects in
construction, transportation, and infrastructure. Graduates who work on the construction
site are responsible for ensuring the quality of work, keeping projects on time, and
keeping projects within cost. Others work in the office or laboratory, as project
managers, estimators, designers, inspectors, and schedulers. Graduates may be contractors
or work for all types of contractors, including residential, building, industrial,
highway, bridge, mechanical, and electrical.

Mechanical Engineering Technology
Mechanical Engineering Technology graduates solve design problems and are involved
in the design, operation, and testing of mechanical systems. The Mechanical Engineering
Technology program provides hands-on education leading to careers in systems design,
manufacturing operations, plant operations, testing, quality control, inspection,
maintenance, sales, consulting, and customer service. Coursework includes a 50/50
mix of application and theory, with an emphasis on practical, problem-solving applications
of science and technology.

Information Technology
The College of Engineering and the College of Business Administration have developed
a new joint degree program in Information Technology (IT) leading to the Bachelor
of Science degree. The Information Technology program prepares students for positions
as information technologists providing operational and infrastructure support for
computer and information systems in business, manufacturing, and institutional organizations.
The IT program provides students with an in-depth understanding of computer 
infrastructure including both hardware and software aspects. It also provides students
with a breadth of skills in the core information technologies including programming,
computer hardware and networking, databases, human/machine interfaces, and Web technologies.
The program accommodates both new direct-from-high-school freshmen and junior-level
transfers from the community and technical colleges.
